  • In this video I’m taking part in the Ugly Duckling Challenge hosted by Cory at Desert DIY! When I saw this table at the thrift store a few weeks ago I knew it would be the perfect piece for this challenge. It looked just ruined and destroyed enough on the surface. But I saw the underlying potential!

    Don’t be so hard on yourself. You did a good job. The “mistakes” are just part of the proces. The touching up with the paint is a skill you own. This little side table was very lucky to have met you!
